    Noise under dash when waking up from sleep

    I think this may be it. I know what the vent actuators sound like, and this isn't it. However, it was a little warmer here today and it didn't do it so it seems like it may be a cold weather thing. Strange...

    Noise under dash when waking up from sleep

    I had something weird start with one of the latest software updates, and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Whenever the car wakes up from being asleep for more than a couple of hours, I get a noise under the dash that sounds like somebody crinkling a paper bag. It...

    Ceramic coating - Applying ourselves Vs. Professionally??

    1) Yes, it’s okay to ceramic coat over PPF 2) A lot of the work with ceramic coating is getting the paint in a condition to coat it. It’s quite a long process and I know I’m not patient enough to do it right, so I paid to have it done. If you’re patient and willing to work quite a few hours...

    Creaking sound in Model 3

    Mine has a metal on metal rattle/creaking noise that I found to be the cover on the passenger side that’s at the same place as the charge port. I’m still not sure how to fix it though

    All things Austin

    Hey all, two questions. 1) Have any of you heard anything about Raw Vision Auto Detailing? I'm looking at using them for basic paint correction and ceramic coating. 2) How do you join the Tesla Owners Club of Austin?!

    Is it okay to drive the Model 3 hard?

    I know this is probably a silly question, but I've never had a car that's as sporty as this one! I love throwing it around corners and feeling the G's as the tires do their best to hold on and then pull out of the turn with all the torque possible. It's such a fun car to drive, but it always...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Yep! That was mine. I just picked it up an hour ago and I'm happy with darker tint on the roof. It's still easy to see through it, but should block a good amount of heat!

    Texas Hold Up!

    Ha. I dropped mine off at about 9AM this morning, so I must have just missed you. I went back and forth between the 30% and 50% and ended up going with 30 on the top... Now I'm second guessing that choice.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Yes, that report means it's been delivered. If you're in the area, just go to pond Springs and ask if it's there. My wife did that and they asked if she wanted to take delivery the next day.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Well, it actually happened! From dropoff at Pond Springs to key (card)s in hand in less than 36 hours. Happy that the wait is finally over!

    Texas Hold Up!

    Well, I've been tracking my car on UR for the past 6 days, and today it finally made it to Pond Springs! My wife went by shortly after because we were hoping to take it on a road trip this weekend, and they offered her a delivery at 6PM tomorrow! So that's exciting and not what I expected!

    Texas Hold Up!

    I'm only seeing the ones from Lanthrop, so you may be right. I was assuming that if I'm registered to the destination, then I would see all origination points, but that may be incorrect .

    Texas Hold Up!

    So, you all might find this interesting (since nobody else I talk to will...), But I am signed up for delivery notifications through United Road to Pond Springs and they seem to be coming in steady. However, my wife and I were there this afternoon looking at cars, and I noticed a UR truck make a...

    Similar to @patoirish 's question, has anyone used ProReflection Austin Auto Detail for anything, and can provide a positive review? Evaluating them for PPF and ceramic coating.

    Ceramic Coating in Austin

    You're right that it doesn't protect it in the same way that PPF does from things like rock chips, but it does help protect against swirls and other things that can scar/stain like bird paint. I plan to do PPF on the front, but I want to do a coating to protect the rest of it as well.

    Ceramic Coating in Austin

    Hey all, I'm looking into getting a ceramic Coating on my MSM 3 to help with the thin paint everyone talks about, but I wanted to get recommendations of where to look. Did anyone here get a ceramic Coating in Austin, and what did you pay if you don't mind sharing?

    If you register an email with UR, then you can log in and see a list of the cars in transit to that location. So I've just been watching that.

    Got a little bit of good news today by checking United Road. My VIN finally showed up as "Pending Pickup", so looks like my car is about to make the journey from CA to TX!

    Texas Hold Up!

    See, this is what is frustrating to me. I was fully funded a week before you with the exact same configuration and my car is still sitting on the lot in CA waiting on a truck... Not sure how they prioritize getting the cars to Austin, but the lack of clarity is sure getting annoying!

    Texas Hold Up!

    Just called about my delivery scheduled for 4PM today at Pond Springs... Car is still in California... This is the second missed delivery date and I've got a few weeks of travel coming up. It's a bit frustrating because it feels like there's no path of escalation to point out, "You've missed...

    Vampire Drain for Cars Long-awaiting Delivery?

    Yeah, Li-on batteries have a self-discharge rate so they'll still discharge even with nothing connected. I did some research though and although the intial month of discharge is steep (up to 20%), the following months are <10%. So theoretically they could last quite a while I guess!

    Texas Hold Up!

    For me, my ISA needed to see it listed on my policy so that he could start the registration process before delivery so I had to add it. Not sure if that's universal or something specific to my guy's process though.

    Vampire Drain for Cars Long-awaiting Delivery?

    Hi all, Like many from Texas, I'm in the boat that my car has been manufactured since mid-July, and I'm still waiting to take delivery as my delivery dates are rescheduled, and then rescheduled again. One of the thoughts I had was what is happening to the battery in my car sitting on a lot...

    Texas Hold Up!

    My ISA needed me to send him Proof of Insurance with the Model 3 losted on the policy 5 days out from delivery so that he could register the vehicle. So I called my insurance company and had them start it with an effective date of my delivery day, but send me the PoI now Not sure what I'm going...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Mark me down as another Austin delivery that's going to be delayed due to "logistics". I had a delivery scheduled for 8/28, but as of Thursday my car hadn't moved from CA. On Friday, I called Pond Springs and they said it was "In Transit" but they didn't have any more info. My ISA emailed me...

    Has anyone broken through the contracts/paperwork "freeze" yet?

    Nope. No VIN online yet. My ISA said it would show up online a few days before delivery .

    Has anyone broken through the contracts/paperwork "freeze" yet?

    Nice! I'm in Austin and ordered the same config on 7/1/2018. Just got the contract from my ISA early this week (Edit: After he contacted me and we waited 3 weeks in the freeze) and have a delivery scheduled for 8/28.
  39. tyfosho

    Has anyone broken through the contracts/paperwork "freeze" yet?

    I don't think this works for all of us in Texas since we don't get a delivery date until after the contract and payment has been completed :(

    Sounds like you're hitting the Texas contract wall too. There's a ton of Texas buyers waiting on contracts right now. It's been 2 weeks for me and there's been no change other than my ISA saying that we're still waiting on paperwork... Getting close to Elon-tweeting time...

    Has anyone broken through the contracts/paperwork "freeze" yet?

    I'm in the exact same situation. ISA sent the contract in last Monday, still waiting to hear back. He's told me a couple of times that we're still just waiting on paperwork and unfortunately he doesn't have any way to speed it up. I feel like Texas is getting a little screwed since there are...

    ISA said paperwork was urgent, but haven't heard from him in over a day

    I got an email back from him today saying that the contracts team was backed up right now and that's the source of the delay. Still not sure what that means with all the pressure he was putting to get it done so quickly, but at least I haven't lost contact completely!

    ISA said paperwork was urgent, but haven't heard from him in over a day

    I was actually able to get a hold of a different ISA, and he wasn't able to help me, but said he would reach out to mine and ask him to contact me. Do you think reaching out to the 800 number would be more effective?

    ISA said paperwork was urgent, but haven't heard from him in over a day

    Hi all, I'm hoping that somebody has some advice for a bit of a stressful situation. My ISA reached out for the first time last Friday to confirm delivery details and said that we need to get the paperwork done in the next week if I didn't want to delay the delivery until later in the year. I...
